Dan Tynan from PC World has put together a list of ten technologies he feels should be extinct in the modern world but are still chugging along. A brief note should be made here that Mr. Tynan commonly writes technology humor so, I guess an argument could be made that he meant this list to be another piece of geek humor. On some things, I agree with Mr. Tynan. However, there are some things on his list that shouldn't have even been considered, even for sake of humor.
1. The Telegraph. As Mr. Tynan points out, the world leader in telegrams, Western Union, stopped providing that service in 2006. Another company stepped up and took Western Union's place and now offers that service over the web for $25 a message plus 88 cents a word.
